Selecting a different outgoing number when making a call

FRITZ!Fon automatically uses a particular number to make calls, depending on the setting. However, when you make a call, you can override this setting and select a different number to use for the call. The telephone's number settings and dialing rules are then suspended for this call. You can either use the telephone's menu or a keypad sequence to select a different outgoing number.

Requirements

FRITZ!Fon must be registered with a FRITZ!Box.

1 Using the menu to change the outgoing number

With the menu you can select any of the telephone numbers that you explicitly assigned to the telephone as incoming numbers in the FRITZ!Box user interface. The numbers are not displayed in the menu if the option "React to all numbers" is enabled:

Press the "Menu" key on the telephone.

Scroll to "Settings" and press "OK".

"Telephony" > "OK" > "Own telephone no." > "OK"

Select the desired outgoing number.

Click "OK" to save the setting.

Now the telephone number is shown in the display of the telephone and will be used as the outgoing number for the next call.
